    I also would like to see the error message you get, but I'll take a guess as to what the root of the problem is.  I suspect that computers without Office 2007 installed do not associate your expected MIME type with the docx file.  The accept attribute is constraining what MIME types are valid and the value being submitted is not one of these values.  Try removing the accept attribute from the CFFILE tag.  Instead of relying on the MIME type provided by the browser to verify you have a docx file check the uploaded file for the expected file extension.

    Got the error message

    The MIME type of the uploaded file application/octet-stream was not accepted by the server.

    <br>Only files of type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,

    application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet can be uploaded. <br>Verify that you are

    uploading a file of the appropriate type.
